Dude, thats ALOT of driving!! I just did almost 2k miles to Miami and back last week, but did it over 4 days - stopping to visit friends in Sebring, Miami and Tampa. Oh and we only burned less than 1/4 tank of diesel - under 10 gallons. And that was pulling a 40ft, dual tandems g-neck w/a GCVW of well over 20k lbs on the way back. (used about 200 gals of VO, and got most of that free from friends in Sebring and Miami)

I was wondering about your trip, How did it go? I hope it went well for you. I dont know if you plan on elaborating on the open forum, but I understand why you went. Ive planned a trip like yours in march to head back to MD, I couldnt get off work sooner thats why its postponed so long...

Well boys. . . Only time will tell. If its meant to be it will be. . . if its not its not. This is the one time though. . . and some of you may know what I mean. . . I'll never do something like this again for another girl. That would take a girl who could top this one. I kind of believe that there is thousands of compatible people out there that will work. . .but only one who is "the one." Eh enough of my soap box. . . like I said time will tell.

Keep your chin up Timmy. If she is the one, this will all work out. If she's not, you'll learn something from this that will help you identify the one down the road. Life would be much easier if the females just came with a sign hanging around their neck that said I'm the one for you, but since they don't, you've just got to stumble your way through things the best you can until the right one shows up.
Glad to hear the truck gave you no problems. If only everything else was that reliable.

Yep we'll see. I'm doin alright. I know that I've done everything in my power. So I will have no regrets. I'm super glad the truck performed. I have been worried about my HPOP's since I've had so many leak issues. . . but I ran her hard for a long time and no a glitch. Except for a crappy clutch. . . which makes it hard to quickly blast by people when the clutch gives out at 25 or so PSI in 5th gear
